SEOUL, Dec. 24 (Yonhap) -- A pre-dawn fire completely destroyed a South Korean factory in a joint industrial complex in North Korea Friday, an official here said, citing an electricity leakage as the possible cause.

No injuries were reported from the fire that began at 2:30 a.m. at a container building and spread to a nearby factory owned by a kitchenware manufacturer, the Unification Ministry official said, asking not to be named or have the firm identified in the media.
